Eunectes murinus

Eunectes murinus veya yeşil anakonda, Eunectes cinsine bağlı zehirsiz bir yılan türüdür. Güney Amerika ve Trinidad'da bulunur. En büyük ve en ağır yılanlar listesindedir ve Malayopython reticulatusdan sonra dünyadaki en ağır yılandır.

Özellikler
Yaklaşık uzunluğa erişebildiğinden dünyadaki en ağır ve uzun yılanlardan biridir. Dişiler erkeklerden genel olarak daha büyüktür. Tipik yetişkin dişi uzunluğa erişebilirken, ortalama uzunluğundadır. Erkekler ortalama uzunluğundadır. Ağırlıklarıyla ilgili araştırmalar daha az olsa da tipik yetişkin yaklaşık arasındadır.

Türle ilgili uzunluğa veya daha da uzun oldukları bilinse de fiziki deliller veya müzelerde bulunmamasından dolayı kayıtlara geçen bulunmamaktadır. En ağır ve en uzun olan tü, 1000'den fazla Eunectes türü incelemiş olan Dr. Jesús Antonio Rivas tarafından onaylanan uzunluğunda ve ağırlığındaki dişidir.
